[ladybirdbliss]

would i? i nearly broke my fecking arse falling into the damn toilet last night because 'd'h didnt put the damn seat down.

yes i know i have to look at where im sitting but in my sleep induced haze at 3 am im not going to do that am i

we've lived together for more than 3 years but a good part of that was wil ils as we were saving up for a morgage for our home and i never had a problem with the seat there. so why cant e just put the damn thing down

just needed a little rant

Standard toilet seats out to be outlawed in favour of softclose. That is all.

My DH, just before we got engaged, shared a flat with me and two other very scary girls. I would defy any male to leave the toilet set up when sharing with these two girls! So, this was good training for DH, and it's rubbed off on DS1 and DS2 - we always know when there's a non-Scholes male in the house.

One rule for all:

Close the lid.

Then you both have to lift to use it, you just the lid, him the seat. You very quickly get used to it.

YWBU to buy a seat that falls down, especially if you ever have a DS- messy!

Do you know that droplets of wee and water contaminated with fecal matter can land a few feet away from the toilet when you flush?

My family are trained to put the toilet lid down before flushing, so the loo seat is never an issue.

Which means that they can land on your toothbrush, your towels, and you!

We are the same - toilet lid always goes down before flushing.

The children and DH are all very well trained in this matter.

'fecal matter'

I am really not bothered about the position of the toilet seat and think that those (usually) women who go on and on about it should concentrate their energies on something a bit more important - just put it down if needs be before you go? The splashing of fecal matter is probably a red herring perpetuated by germ phobics.

Having said that I try to always put the lid down as if not the cats drink out of it and one of them is quite elderly and not very steady on his feet and has been known to fall in!
